So, i have the latest Proxmox 3.1-21
I'm trying to migrate some Windows boxes fromXenserver 6.2 to Proxmox
Following the wiki and some other sources
If I use xe-export I end up with unreadable image
If I use ovf export I can convert vhd images to qcow2 or raw
those images are mountable and I can see files on them
If I attach them to VM and try to start VM I get black screen (sometimes w. non blinking cursor)
I installed VmWare Converter exported VMWare machine
this machine starts and boots fine on VMware WS
Convert slices to one big vmdk (-t 2) - this image also boots fine on VmWare WS
I can convert this image to qcow2
When I try to boot -- blank screen w. cursor
Boot from Win7 CD -- it finds the harddisk and says that boot needs to repair. Ok, repair.
Boot from hard disk -- still blank screen.
Boot again from CD -- now it does not complain about any errors any more.
I found some "black screen w. cursor" threads but those are about contianers.
So, what I am missing here? Any help is greatly appreciated.
